IT help needed

This is a discussion on IT help needed within the Off Topic & Humor Discussion forums, part of the The Back Porch category; I just relocated my office. As part of the move I am now on a different ISP provider.
My Outlook has stopped sending email. I ...

I have checked to be sure that I am using a secure connection with my email provider. Tools/Accounts/properties/servers/settings and made sure the "my server requires authentication" box is checked. Going to the Advanced tab I checked that the outgoing mail is port 25 and the SSL box is checked. When I check the incoming mail SSL box the port changes from 110 to 995. If I uncheck the box it returns to "110" automatically.

I can manually go to the server website and send mail but it's clunky and a PITA to do that. What do I need to do to get my email running again?

BTW, I'm going out of town this weekend so will be away from the offending computer so I can't make changes to see if they work until next week.

Most ISP's block port 25 to prevent abuse (spammers). If the SMTP server is under your control, then you can have it set up to listen on an additional port for your authenticated connections. Try port 465/SSL. If the server is provided by someone else, contact them and ask them to set up a workaround for the "port 25 blocked by ISP" syndrome.

Contact the landlords ISP and get their outgoing server info, also make sure they are not blocking any mail ports to force feed their mail service. If they are providing connectivity to a commerical space I doubt they are blocking e-mail ports, but there are stupid people all over the world.

You need your ISPs outgoing mailserver name.

If that doesn't work, and you're using Outlook, You can always pay a bit and go with a Hosted Exchange server. The service I use (and resell) is 20.00/mo
